forward propagation
@JavaFXpert
Feedforward calculations with XOR example
For each layer:
Multiply inputs by weights:
(1 x 8.54) + (0 x 8.55) = 8.54
Add bias:
8.54 + (-3.99) = 4.55
Use sigmoid activation function:
1 / (1 + e
-4.55
) = 0.99

For each of the four dataset icons (Circle, Exclusive Or, Gaussian, and Spiral):
- Select only the X1 & X2 features
- Modify the hyperparameters in such a way that minimizes the number of Epochs required to make the Test loss and Training loss each <= 0.009
- Tweet screenshot with your lowest Epochs result tagging @JavaFXpert in the message.

@JavaFXpert
Learning to Navigate a Grid World with Q-Learning
@JavaFXpert
Rules of this Grid World
- Agent may move left, right, up, or down (actions)
- Reward is 0 for each move
- Reward is 5 for reaching top right corner (terminal state)
- Agent can't move into a wall or off-grid
- Agent doesn't have a model of the grid world. It must discover as it interacts.
Challenge: Given that there is only one state that gives a reward, how can the agent work out what actions will get it to the reward?
(AKA the credit assignment problem)
Goal of an episode is to maximize total reward
@JavaFXpert
This Grid World's MDP (Markov Decision Process)
In this example, all actions are deterministic
@JavaFXpert
Agent learns optimal policy from interactions with the environment (s, a, r, s')
@JavaFXpert
Visualizing training episodes
From BasicBehavior example in https://github.com/jmacglashan/burlap_examples
@JavaFXpert
Expected future discounted rewards, and polices
@JavaFXpert
This example used discount factor 0.9
Low discount factors cause agent to prefer immediate rewards
@JavaFXpert
How often should the agent try new paths vs. greedily taking known paths?
@JavaFXpert
Q-Learning approach to reinforcement learning

Tic-Tac-Toe with Reinforcement Learning
Learning to win from experience rather than by being trained
@JavaFXpert
Inspired by the Tic-Tac-Toe Example section...
@JavaFXpert
Tic-Tac-Toe Learning Agent and Environment
X
O
Our learning agent is the "X" player, receiving +5 for winning, -5 for losing, and -1 for each turn
The "O" player is part of the Environment. State and reward updates that it gives the Agent consider the "O" play.
@JavaFXpert
Tic-Tac-Toe state is the game board and status
| States | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
